Question Opti-Phos vs Rowaphos

Any update on the Opti-Phos?

I am having a hair algae outbreak and want to nip the phosphates in the bud this week! I had hair algae so bad in my last tank I finally gave up and tore that sucker down. I don't want to see the same end in my new tank a year later!

Anyway, enough about me.... What has been your experience so far with Opti-Phos, specifically compared to the Rowaphos? Have you attempted to re-charge it yet? Have you noticed one or the other being more efficient in removing phosphates?

The Rowaphos always makes such a horrible mess, and it took a lot of rinsing to clean up. I had trouble with it hardening up into a solid mass in the reactor after a couple of weeks too. The Opti-phos hardly took any rinsing to start, and I like the fact that it can be re-charged multiple times.
